World Champions!
The season began with an unexpected success. We had entered the Smallest Rugby Club World Cup with little information about what we were getting in to. However, it turned into a wonderful day with the realisation growing all the time that we could be the winners. When we beat the team from Malta confidence grew further and in the end we brought the cup back to Cottenham. There was some excellent publicity resulting from this win

We competed in the Eastern Counties Greene King Division Two West.The League proved to be just as demanding as the 2014/15 season but we had more luck with injuries and managed to field teams for all our league games. The on the pitch performance also improved and we ended in sixth place of the ten teams in the league. The table finished looking like this:
